You underfuckingestimate me. And that's dangerous...

How the fuck can you, as a fucking boss, flat out tell someone that you don't have time for them so they have to report to someone else?? What the fuck is that??? How the hell do you delegate a person?? A task, maybe, but a person?? I've worked with people much higher than you, higher than you'll probably ever be, and YOU don't have time for me? Oh hell no...

You can't, Can't, CAN'T expect someone who is looking to get their fucking masters degree to sit there and take it when you tell her that she is responsible for keeping a fucking closet clean. You CAN'T expect her to be all happy about setting up meeting rooms by herself when, when she first came on, the entire fucking team was setting up the rooms together. It takes 40 minutes with 3 people. It takes me 2-3 hours. Then you get pissed when I do some of it one day and some another day. Who the fuck wants to spend 3 fucking hours of their day moving fucking tables and chairs???

You CAN'T expect someone to have nothing but disdain for you when they hear that they have to "take more initiative" when it comes to volunteering for projects, and when they do take the initiative and choose a marketing project, then complete and submit the project for your approval YOU DON'T EVEN FUCKING LOOK AT IT!!! I submitted that project back in September. I didn't hear a word about it until months later when my performance evaluation was coming up. THEN you decide to look at it and say, "This is not the direction I want to go." BITCH BITCH BITCH!!! You didn't tell me what direction you wanted to go. You had not one fucking word about the direction you wanted to go when I chose the fucking project. Then, you don't meet with ME about the direction you want to go. No...I'm only the person who volunteered for the project. You're going to meet with another manager who doesn't want anything to do with the project, has put off the project for years, and has LESS THAN ZERO background in marketing - while I am gearing up to get my fucking masters in marketing - to discuss what you want. Oh and by the way, this manager is accommodating and half spineless. The boss wants it this way, you say OK. You have no spine, you bend too easily. I, on the other hand, like to offer a challenge, push the envelope, see what happens. If the boss is going to fire me because I had an indefuckingpendent thought yet still discussed my position respectfully, then I don't need to work for you anyway. Take a fucking chance-see where it gets you! But then of course, the boss is so stupid...she acts like she thinks things through but she fucks people up more so than anything, like double booking meeting space and then locking herself up in her office when shit clashes between the meetings, leaving her underlings to figure it out. She didn't have time to think of smaller matters, figure it out amongst yourselves was her reply.

You'll get on me if a room isn't straight or if material isn't picked up after a meeting right away, but you have nothing to say about updating your circa 1999 presentations and cutting out those damn beanie men and cartoons. I am an educated and talented woman with years of experience and the best you had to say to me during my performance review was I communicate well. FUCK YOU YOU JEALOUS CUNT! YOU WISH YOU COULD BE ME! You're probably scared that if you don't "keep me in my place" I'd have your job in a few years. You're absolutely right. I can have your job after a while. I'd run shit so much fucking better than you. But I don't want it.

You know, I tested her for about 2 weeks. That bitch had ABSOLUTELY nothing to say to me but hi and bye. The only conversation we had was when I asked her a question.

If moving around and moving up is important to you, my FuckThisJob community, take a good, honest look around you. Take a look at if your boss is a boss in name only. She doesn't give a fuck about what I do professionally. In fact, I overheard her talking to that manager aforementioned - that manager is now who I report to - and when asked a question, my boss' reply was, "Well, that's what she was hired to do. That's her job." Which tells me that you'll throw any piece of shit my way and I'm supposed to take it because, hey, it's my job. FUCK YOU!!! Bitch, you have no clue what I'm up to. I REFUSE to be a part of this anymore. I'm definitely more than this. Much more. And when I leave you, it will be smack dab in the middle of some wild shit happening in your department. See, because we're always busy. We don't get downtime like a lot of other departments get. We're always doing something. And one day, when you least expect it, I'll say YET MANG and walk the fuck out, leaving you high and dry. And I'll do it in a way that I'll still get a fucking recommendation from you, because I'll be nice to you. I'll do the flunky bullshit you and the other managers keep throwing in my face, knowing DAMN WELL I'm totally overqualified for this shit. And I'll smile while I'm in front of you. And I'll tell you all is cool.

And I'll keep taking on projects. Since you're too busy to be my boss, you'll be too busy to notice that I'm only taking "resume-building projects." I'll take on marketing projects, I'll create an intense brand strategy for your department to help you market it better. Damn, that looks real good on paper. I'll do a liitle project management. I'll streamline some processes. I'll take on the projects that will save the company money. That shit makes a hiring manager drool. I'll set shit up beautifully, it will be smooth, it'll be tight, it'll be what everybody wants! But it will also be in a way that only I understand. And no one can't charge me with being a hog because I'll share all of the information about the process. I'll explain it to the others. But I know what their level of understanding is in the projects that I choose - they understand ZERO! - so when I go to explain it all it will go SWOOSH right over their heads. They'll be completely puzzled by my explanations, hell, they won't even try to understand it! They'll just say "OK, whatever you just said. But YOU can take care of it, right?" And I'll have enough of those shits floating around, not many, but just enough to put 3 or 4 solid bullet points on my resume. I already have 2. I'll have 3 by the end of this month, and I think I see a 4th in the horizon, which that 4th one looks VERY YUMMY, will definitely make a hiring manager jerk off while reading my shit.

I am the sneakiest, slimiest scheming ass fuck you'd ever come across. You underfuckingestimate me. And that's dangerous.

Like a 90 mph curveball, you will NOT know what's coming at you...

Good luck with your master's, I just got mine (not in a related field, but hey, education is education) and part of my job is cleaning up after people who are perfectly able to clean up after themselves. I'm not speaking abstractly here, I mean pick up paper plates off the floor in meeting rooms because the attendees can't fucking be bother. Anyway...this is your rant and my point is: good for you. Don't take their shit - you're far too valuable and capable. Use this job, shine up your resume and then leave. Find a place that will pay for your master's. Fuck yeah - give'm your all and then take it away. You may not get to see them squirm after you leave, but YOU KNOW they'll realize what asses they were to drive you away.
